Chapter 456: Chapter 456: Mom, I... I miss Dad.

"Jibber-jabber cartoons?"

Qin Yan chuckled. At that time, Qin Yinyin couldn’t understand the content and asked Qin Yan why the people on TV spoke in jibber-jabber?

"Yinyin, Mom and you are now in the country of the cartoons you watched! You’re not Cinderella; it’s just that they speak differently than we do."

"Really?"

"Of course, Yinyin. Next time when you go out to play and can’t understand what they’re saying, just ask Selena to tell the kids what it’s like where we come from."

Qin Yan ruffled Qin Yinyin’s head and whispered, "We will live here for a long time, so don’t resist this place, okay?"

Qin Yinyin nodded.

"Then Mom, can I still go to school?" Qin Yinyin’s eyes were a bit wet: "What if... I can’t understand what the teacher says, what should I do? Can I take Selena to school?"

Qin Yan carried Qin Yinyin outside and whispered, "Mom has work to do these days, but once I’m done, I’ll help Yinyin find a school."

"Don’t worry, Mom will find a teacher that Yinyin can understand."

"Thank you, Mom!"

With Qin Yan’s reassurance, Qin Yinyin felt much better.

She cuddled closer in Qin Yan’s arms and hesitated a moment before asking, "Mom, I want... I miss Dad."

Qin Yan paused.

Qin Yinyin realized Qin Yan might be angry, and hurriedly said, "Mom, I know you and Dad are divorced. But I... when we go back home, can I see Dad again?"

Qin Yan felt a little conflicted. She stroked Qin Yinyin gently and whispered, "Of course you can. He’s your dad, and I won’t stop you if you want to see him."

"But Yinyin, we’re going to be here for quite a while, so you won’t see him for some time."

"You might only see Dad when you grow up."

Qin Yinyin felt a bit disappointed, but she still tried to stay positive and whispered, "I understand."

"Yinyin, eat well so you can grow up, okay?"

"Mom, I don’t like the food Selena makes, I want to cook myself, but Selena disagrees..."

Qin Yan always pampered Yinyin. Compared to Western food, Chinese cuisine is more nourishing, and she rarely gave Qin Yinyin steaks and other Western dishes, with breakfast mainly consisting of porridge.

"The meat patty Selena made is still undercooked, I..."

Qin Yinyin felt a bit aggrieved. Qin Yan smiled, whispered, "I’ll make you something else, and you eat well later, alright?"

Qin Yinyin nodded.

She went downstairs, and Selena noticed and seemed touched.

"Ma’am, I’ll go prepare some more food..."

Qin Yan shook her head, whispering, "Selena, Yinyin knows how to make simple food herself. She’s not quite used to Western food. If she insists on cooking for herself tomorrow, just stand aside and watch, make sure nothing catches fire."

Selena was shocked.

She never imagined a child could cook for themselves.

Qin Yan didn’t restrict Qin Yinyin, placed her on a small stool, and said, "Make a dish for Aunt Selena."

Qin Yinyin was too young, so Qin Yan herself cut the vegetables, then stood in the kitchen watching Qin Yinyin work.

Qin Yinyin was quick, pouring oil and vegetables, adding seasonings, stir-frying a dish of green pepper shredded pork.

It didn’t burn, and the only pungent smell in the kitchen was the spicy scent of the peppers.

Qin Yinyin hopped down from the small stool and sneezed twice.

It was already late, so Qin Yan didn’t make porridge but simply prepared noodle soup, and they ate a bit together.

After dinner, Qin Yan was tired from the day, took a bath and came out to see Yinyin sitting on her bed with her small pillow.

When she saw her, Yinyin’s eyes brightened: "Mom, can I sleep with you?"

This house of Qin Mingchuan’s was different from Xing Yue Bay, it was quite big, and Yinyin was actually a little scared.

Qin Yan nodded.

"Hooray for Mom!"

The next day, Qin Yan couldn’t go to work because Yinyin had a fever.

Being a doctor herself, she could guess Yinyin’s condition, likely due to acclimatization issues.

Qin Yan was prepared, knowing Yinyin might not adapt, but when they first arrived, Yinyin didn’t show any issues for three days, so Qin Yan relaxed her guard, resulting in Yinyin having a fever at this critical moment.

Even with fever patches, there was no improvement.

Qin Yan and Selena carried Yinyin to the hospital.

After a busy morning, Yinyin received IV fluids, and her fever subsided.

Qin Yan was drenched in cold sweat.

Standing in the hospital hallway, Qin Yan exhaled.

The time suddenly seemed to rewind to three years ago when she was alone with her child, work was unstable, and Yinyin’s health wasn’t good.

Clearly, Qin Yan had already endured that hardship, but due to her divorce from Bo Yunshen, she had to walk this path again.

It’s easy to transition from frugal to lavish, but hard to go from lavish to frugal.

Qin Yan exhaustedly sat on a bench in the hospital corridor, taking a deep breath.

She bit her lip, sat there for a while, and when she planned to leave, she saw Gu Jinyan.

He didn’t see her, hurriedly entered a ward with a pile of items.

Qin Yan was taken aback.

Because Bo Yunshen and Gu Jinyan had a good relationship, she knew quite a bit about Gu Jinyan.

Gu Group wasn’t small. Qin Yan had been at Bo Group and knew a little about Gu Group, aware of its heavy workload, so seeing Gu Jinyan here at the hospital didn’t seem reasonable to her.

It’s not reasonable to be on a business trip to the hospital...

Qin Yan moved a bit, standing too far away to clearly see what medication Gu Jinyan was holding.

Hesitating, Qin Yan fumbled a mask out of her pocket.

Not quite used to Los Angeles’ climate, she always carried this mask, just in case of an allergic reaction.

Qin Yan adjusted her hair, put on the mask, and walked toward the ward Gu Jinyan had entered.

The ward door was open, and she immediately saw the person lying on the hospital bed.

His upper body was bare, the wounds around his waist and abdomen were hideous, and the left rib looked unnatural, probably broken. Qin Yan’s heart skipped.

Bo Yunshen’s head rested on a soft pillow, his dark hair made his complexion appear paler.

So that car accident was so serious for Bo Yunshen?

Qin Yan felt somewhat relieved, as Bo Yunshen was indifferent, showing little concern for Yinyin even knowing Lin Man’s actions against her.

In this accident, he was injured far worse than Yinyin, whose wounds had scabbed over, thanks to Feng Chen’s protection, and being a child, recovered relatively quickly.

Qin Yan lowered her head, and after the relief, that familiar bittersweet feeling suddenly hit her heart.

She glanced into the ward, quickly turned around, and went back to Yinyin’s ward.

Yinyin’s fever had subsided; she was asleep, and the IV drip had finished.

Qin Yan bent over, picked her up from the bed, and Selena, surprised, said, "Ma’am, should we check Miss’s temperature again?"
